Growl at start up?

Growl at start up?
Hey guys,
I vaguely remember a few threads about people having problems with their car sometimes making a 'growling' or 'grinding' noise at startup... mine has recently started to do this (among many other things...) and the dealer could not (of course) recreate the problem. For those of you who had this problem, was there ever any solution found? The sound itself isn't that big of a deal, but as I recall the discussion last time was leading around to the idea that the timing chain was slipping?
Thanks

My '04 will make a growling type noise after start-up when the engine and climate are both very cold. It goes away within a minute or two.
I suspect that a water pump, alternator or compressor bearing or bushing is making the noise.

Thanks for the input guys... my noise started after about 1 month, and then started to become more and more common, eventually doing it even when it wasn't cold. I know my dealer will never be able to replicate the problem so I guess I'm stuck with it.

Same problem here, like a growling. Wife's car and she thinks it has to do with steering, but I'm like you guys I've only noticed it right after a cold start up and acceleration. Going to the dealer tomorrow but the problem is almost impossible to make happen.
